When the Badge Becomes a Weapon
Officer-involved domestic violence affects thousands of survivors who fear the very people sworn to protect them. Learn the statistics, real cases including the Drew Peterson story, and how the Evidentiary Abuse Affidavit (EAA) can save lives when the system fails.
The EAA Can Help Even If You Never Go to Court
Document The Abuse explains why documenting abuse matters even when survivors aren't ready for legal action. The Evidence Affidavit App (EAA) is a secure digital tool that helps survivors record incidents at their own pace, preserve details over time, recognize patterns, and protect their options for the future — whether or not they ever pursue a court case. Documentation supports emotional processing, safety planning, and access to services like housing, workplace accommodations, and victim assistance programs.
How Victims of Abuse Can Safely Document Without Increasing Risk
Traditional evidence standards fail survivors of abuse by requiring unrealistic proof. Learn how the Evidentiary Abuse Affidavit (EAA) empowers survivors to document abuse on their own terms—legally, securely, and without re-traumatization.
Victims Beyond the Target
Abuse is never contained. It spreads across homes, families, friendships, workplaces, and communities. The target victim carries the heaviest burden, but they do not carry it alone. Everyone connected to the abuse, in large or small ways, bears its weight.
International Women’s Day: Empowering Women Through Awareness and Action
Every year on March 8th, the world comes together to celebrate International Women’s Day (IWD), a global event recognizing the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women. It’s also a powerful call to action for accelerating gender equality. At Document The Abuse, International Women’s Day holds profound significance, especially as we advocate for women’s rights in abusive relationships and work to provide them with resources to reclaim their lives.
The EAA and How It Protects Victims of Abuse
The Evidentiary Abuse Affidavit (EAA) is a notarized legal document designed to protect victims of abuse by creating a record of the harm they have endured. It includes detailed accounts of the victim’s experiences, providing law enforcement, legal professionals, and advocates with vital information to act swiftly and effectively if the victim goes missing or is otherwise unable to advocate for themselves.
How Speaking Engagements Can Spark Change in Abuse Prevention
